Blogspot aka Blogger. Blogger is most widely used free blogging platform, many
people use blogger including me for various reasons. But in this post we will
focus on SEO; I will list a few things that you can do to make your blogspot
blog an SEO friendly blog.
Why SEO is important:
SEO is very important for every blog or website. Better SEO
will make your Blog/website viral in the search result and you will be gifted
free organic traffic by Search Engines. A good SEOed blog will be listed top on
the search results by the search engine. Do you remember the last time you went
beyond the second or even the first page of the search results? People always
prefer top results. So I guess now you know why it is important to do SEO for
your Blog.
How to do SEO for Blogspot
1) Provide custom Meta description
in every single post you publish. The new Interface by Google Blogger has made
this thing very easy to add a custom description. You can simply add it while
publishing a new post by adding 2-3 lines in the description box on the right
sidebar.
2) Adding keywords to your post’s content is very important.
You should try to maintain atleast 2-3% of keyword density in your post. By
this I mean if you have a 500 words post you can add 10-15 keywords.
3) Blogspot’s new interface now allows you to choose custom
permalinks for your post. Format your post url in such a way that it explains
every thing about your post and include the necessary keywords. It should not
very long and not even a small one is good. It should be near to 50 characters.
4) There is one more very cool trick you should do and it is to format your post title that will help
your post getting an identity among the other search results. Go to Edit HTML from your blog template,
Click on expand the template and search for <data:blog.pagetitle/></span></span></pre>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> now replace
this with the code written below:
<data:blog.title/> <data:blog.pageName/>
5) Format your blog images as
well. This mean you need to add title and alt tag in every image. This helps a
lot in SEO. You can simple add it by clicking on an image in the edit mode and
then mention it in properties.
6) Use proper Labels in your
posts. Labels should be unique and descriptive. Add at least 3-5 unique labels
closely related to your post with every post you publish.
7) Add no-follow attribute to
all the external links you mention in your post.
8) Add Meta
tags (description and keywords) in your blog template.
9) Link building is very important
for SEO. I recommend you to read my complete article entitled with How to get backlinks easily.
10) Last but no the least
always write quality and unique content that will easily get up the search
results and people may voluntary link back to you. You can also add a link to me widget at the last of every post.
